Recent Posts Block—Templates and Content

The block shows posts sorted by the creation time in descending order.

Blog: Recent Posts (and Scroller)

The content of the block depends on the page a customer visits:

  • Any other page that is not the blog page—recent posts.

  • The blog page—blog posts

    Page Content
    Blog 1 Post 1, Post 2
    Blog 2 Post 3, Post 4

  • The post page—posts that have the same parent page as the browsed post.

    Page Content
    Post 1 Post 1, Post 2
    Post 3 Post 3, Post 4

Blog: Text Links

The block shows the recent posts with the date of creation.

View all button redirects to a blog or a post that is specified in the parent page of the block.

Known Issues

The Recent Posts block is empty when the post is browsed

It happens when all posts are stored in the root level:

Root level
    | Post 1
    | Post 2
    | Post 3
    | Post 4

You need to create a blog and specify it as a parent page for posts.

The template “Blog: text links” doesn’t show View all button

It happens if the root level is set as a parent page.

Instead you need to choose a blog or a post in the block settings.
